WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR SESSION?

Before Your Balance

I recommend you are well hydrated as this facilitates muscle testing which is my main assessment tool.

I suggest you wear shorts or pants as you'll be lying on a massage table and there may be some leg movements involved.

Other than that, just come along with an open mind and a willingness to explore the process.


During Your Balance

At your initial consultation I'll take a client history which will include collection of standard information such as your contact details, history of the issue you're coming to see me for, current medications or supplements etc. I may also ask about significant events, family or other relationships. The aim is to provide as much information about you, where you’re at it in your life, how you got there and where you’re going. This will assist us in identifying the issues to work on to get you to where you want to be.

After the client history I'll do an assessment and kinesiology 'balance'. You remain fully clothed throughout and have the choice of sitting, standing or lying however most clients prefer to lie on the massage table.

The process is painless and involves me moving various muscles and/or using pressure points and touch. It may seem a bit odd and unlike anything you may have experienced before but I encourage you to relax and go with the flow.


After Your Balance

After the balance I'll do a further assessment and discuss any changes. I may also suggest some home reinforcement (homework) for you to consider.

How you feel afterwards will vary as everyone is different. It can take a few days for your body to take up and process the changes. If there was physical pain, usually you'll leave with reduced pain or no pain. If it was an emotional issue, you may feel lighter or more at ease.

On rare occasions, a client may experience a headache or an 'off' feeling, likely due to release of toxins or energy being stirred up within your body. It’s important to drink plenty of water as this helps eliminate toxins and assists our bodies with processing and recovery.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Manual Muscle Monitoring?

Manual muscle monitoring (or biofeedback) is done by the Kinesiologist placing a muscle into a specific position and applying light pressure in order to establish the muscle’s response. The response provides an indication as to whether or not the body is holding stress in relation to the muscle, energy meridian or issue.

It is a simple and painless process and is my main assessment tool.


What Do You Mean By Stress?

Stress can be structural, chemical (nutrition), electrical (brain integration) or emotional in nature. When something is causing stress to the body the muscles will respond accordingly when monitored.

Traditional Chinese medicine principles state that ‘stress’ blocks the flow of energy or “Qi” in and around the body. This subsequently affects the functioning of organs, glands, muscles and systems of the body which in turn affects overall health and wellbeing.

Stress may be conscious or unconscious and is often hidden under several layers. Dramatic changes can be seen once the causal layer of the stress is dealt with and resolved.

Kinesiology enables us to deal with the multiple layers of stress to uncover and release the core layer, thereby freeing you of it or giving you ways to manage and cope.


How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Depending on your issue you may achieve the results you are after in one session. I generally recommend 2-3 in order to stabilise and reinforce changes to enable your body to get used to a different and new way of thinking. Kinesiology is generally fast and effective with lasting results.


How Long Does a Balance / Session Take?

Appointments are generally 1 hour in length.


Can Children Benefit from Kinesiology?

Yes. Children and young adults benefit greatly from Kinesiology. I work with babies (even in the womb) right through to adults. Kinesiology can be particularly helpful if kids are having difficulty at school, both with learning, concentration as well as social issues. 

I find kinesiology is particularly beneficial for emotional problems, such as anxiety, trauma and stress as well as behavioural issues.



What is The Difference Between The Various Types of Kinesiology?

One major difference between the Kinesiology I practice and some others is the length of training. The Professional Kinesiology Practice (PKP) course I undertook is 3-4 years long and involved many hours of study and homework, as well as hands-on practical experience. Some Kinesiology training courses are just a few months in length or even weekends.

Whilst these short courses are a good and useful complement to other forms of therapy, PKP Kinesiology is a complete therapy in itself. Another difference is that PKP incorporates emotions as clearing the related emotion can help the corrections hold much better and longer.
